This painter's aesthetic ideal centered on emphasizing S-shaped "lines of beauty." In one work, this artist showed a boy inserting an arrow into a dog's rectum, and he later showed that same character being dissected on a surgeon's table. In another painting, he showed a portrait of a woman with a squirrel on her hand, to the left of which a philandering lawyer exits a window in his nightshirt. This painter depicted a figure who escapes Welsh bailiffs aboard a sedan chair, is incarcerated in Fleet debtor's prison, and eventually goes mad in Bedlam. For 10 points, name this English artist of The Four Stages of Cruelty, Marriage a-la-Mode, and A Rake's Progress.
